It was a really great birthday! Covid still going strong, so there was no big bash. I figured I would save the party for my retirement.
Alex and Penny hosted a birthday dinner and invited Dave and Therese. Helium balloons! I kept them displayed for as long as possible. The champagne bottle lasted months! It was replaced by a retirement helium balloon in January.
September was a month of celebration.
Rob spoiled me for my 60th. In September we checked out the McMichael and had an outstanding lunch and visited the Royal Botanical Gardens, and went to Stratford to see two plays (performed outdoors). We also visited Liz and Darcy at their cottage rental on Lake Huron.
This is a bit of a cheat, as I am writing this in September 2022.
I went back to check out past birthdays and realized I hadn't made an entry for last year's milestone. In truth, I was a bit restless as I was trying to figure out the best time to retire. I felt a bit as though I were treading water, waiting and wondering what the best decision and timing would be... January 2022 I took the leap.
Well, my 61st year was a good one!
